I have been looking for a way to read the entire contents of the text buffer.
I have a reference to the Document Object I want to read but do not know how
to do this.

I need to entire text of the current document... does anyone know how I can
do this?

Thanks,

Justin J. Vogt

Here we go!:

1) Cast Document.Object to TextDocument
2) Get TextDocument.StartPoint
3) Create EditPoint from TextPoint with CreateEditPoint
4) Call GetText method passing TextDocument.EndPoint

Thanks Carlos, that did the trick...

In case anyone wants to know here's the code that used in Whidbey:

TextDocument textDocument =
(TextDocument)projectItem.Document.Object("TextDocument");
EditPoint editPoint = textDocument.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint();
string bufferText = editPoint.GetText(textDocument.EndPoint);
